You will need to interrogate and understand a number of bespoke and generic software packages as well as legacy records.
Reporting to senior officers as well as Trustees, this is a new, varied and evolving project role on a challenging deadline. Based at Guildhall or an available site office, travel between each of the sites will often be necessary.
